① We spend most of our time with friends who we like. Well, who would stay with a person one doesn't like? What kind of people are welcomed by others, then?
② There are many attractive(有吸引力的)people around you. By being with them just once, you start to like them. If you wonder why they attract people and want to be a person like them, you should learn how to develop the traits that they have.
③ Firstly, everybody wants to be happy, and nobody wants to spend their time with a sad person. Well, you see, there is what you call mood linkage. If you are with a jolly (愉快的) person, you are more probably to be happy. When people choose to spend time with a person, they are more likely to choose those who are cheerful. So if you are a happy person, many people will want to spend their time with you.
④ Next, everybody needs someone to give encouragement to them, because sometimes in our lives we experience failure, sadness, problems and other bad things. So if you always choose to cheer others up with encouraging words or actions, they will be willing to spend time with you.
⑤ Lastly, you are not a friend if you don't lend a hand to your friends when they need help. You should always be helpful to them, no matter what it costs, because when you need help, they will be there for you, too.
⑥ It feels good if people want to be your friends because of your character. So if you want to attract friends, I suggest you learn to develop these traits.
